SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting Gauss units into Newtons per meter for magnetic calculations. It is established that 1 Gauss equals 10^-4 Tesla, and a Tesla is defined as 1 Newton per meter per ampere (N/m/A). The participants emphasize the need for a standard equation to facilitate the conversion of Gauss to Newtons per meter, particularly in the context of calculating magnetic attraction or repulsion between two magnets in motion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Gauss and Tesla units in magnetism
  • Familiarity with the relationship between magnetic field strength and force
  • Basic knowledge of Newton's laws of motion
  • Experience with magnetic calculations in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the formula for converting Gauss to Newtons per meter
  • Study the principles of magnetic attraction and repulsion
  • Learn about the applications of Tesla in electromagnetic theory
  • Explore unit conversion techniques in physics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, engineers, and students involved in magnetic field calculations, particularly those working on projects involving magnetism and forces between magnets.

1 Gauss = 10-3 Tesla

As CompuChip shows, your units are not directly equivalent. What are you trying to figure out for your project?
 
A Tesla is also a Newton per meter per ampere: N/m/A. Is that what you're going for?
Also 1 Gauss is 10-4 T.
 
I'm trying to calculate how the magnetic attraction or repulsion changes between two magnets while they are "orbiting" a pivot. But this will require a standard equation for converting units like gauss into units such as Newtons per meter.
